Its like there's a damn barricade around me. Feels like everyone to the east and west of us has gotten slammed and we haven't even got an inch.

I disagree; making that call 12 hours in advance does seem absurd. But it's typical American Airlines procedure. I would have preferred a delay, even an all day delay. Over a flat out cancellation and an offer to get a flight on Monday evening. It's fine, I'm driving straight to my next destination instead of getting to spend a night at home. Hopefully my flight home on Thursday won't have any problems.

There has been over 70 diversions for DFW. If anything AA didn't cancel enough

Significant event on Tues/Wed?

It is such a wide area in the slight risk area - thinking this one is grabbing some hype because it is early spring. The tornado / large hail threat looks to be right at early storm development which should be more west / southwest of the metro.

Edit: Storm Prediction Center just updated their map to show the enhanced area I was referencing. For reference, the edge of the higher risk corridor includes the following counties: Parker, Hood, Wise (mostly), & Johnson (slightly)

Updated for new map. Looks like the western half of Tarrant is now included in the enhanced risk.

As a reminder, hail/wind are the most likely (especially in the enhanced zones). The overall tornado risk is quite low, but it there for all of the metroplex.

Now all of Tarrant & Denton, western half of Dallas and western edge of Collin.

Supposed to be landing around 7:45 @ DFW, I haven't seen much on timing, is the severe stuff supposed to start late afternoon?

Current wx models show the line starting to move in to the western metroplex around 8/9ish. Now depending on what direction you're coming from, impacts could start earlier as the western arrivals into DFW/Love typically get blocked off first.

Thanks, jumped on an earlier one, landing at 5:45 coming from the west.

Hopefully this system calms down some by the time it hits us. It's producing some wild storms from Chicago all the way down to Abilene

Our house is in option period currently. Need it to last through closing April 3 assuming it doesn't fall through.

What do the numbers represent on that second one?

Rotation. Not sure of the scale, though. Can't find a legend anywhere.

It's from the WFAA page/radar that Steve McCauley manages.

I don't think we hit that high of wind speed in western Keller. Not hearing any hail strikes, either. Fingers crossed.

In Argyle/Northlake area and ton of wind and rain but no bad stuff yet. Hopefully it stays away. Love the water though.

Lost a couple old fence panels over the weekend and have a feeling I'm gonna lose the rest of that side fence tonight. Wall of wind just slammed into us in NE McKinney

Pea-size hail in Lochwood/NE Dallas. Would love for it to stay that small.

I am definitely thankful the storm weakened as it entered the area. Hopefully everyone else has escaped damage. We ended up with 3/4 in.

Got nearly an inch of rain last night and started storming when I went to bed. Haven't fallen asleep to storms in a long time.
